Whether it be with celebrations of free fries<\/a>, unconventional locations<\/a> and even selling spaghetti<\/a> at one of its restaurants, McD's knows how to catch our attention.\r\n\r\nBring in the latest McDonald's mystery: Why do some of its cup lids have rectangular buttons? I mean, the cup lids already have circular buttons. Is there a reason some McDonald's cup lids have both while others don't?\r\n\r\nThis isn't the first time we've scratched our heads about a McDonald's choice. Its McFlurry spoons<\/a>, which will be phased out after nearly 30 years, famously sparked debates about the square handle<\/a>. Now, people are puzzled by McDonald's cup lids.\r\nThe Origin of This Mystery<\/h2>\r\nThis McDonald's mystery was brought to light\u2014and solved\u2014in a viral TikTok. In a 10 second video that now has over 1.4 million likes, Michael Mckee shows viewers a McDonald's cup lid with rectangular and round buttons. Then, Michael pushes down the circular buttons of the cup lid. When he pushes the rectangular buttons down, the circle button beside it immediately pops up with a \"click\" sound.\r\n
